cad software similar to autodesk inventor?

No idea about your budget, but Pro Engineer blows Inventor away. Then there's CATIA if you're Boeing.

I downloaded varicad debian version to ubuntu gnome and it works very well ,I tried
to install on ubuntu KDE and varicad would not work at all.I have tried to install Bricscad
linux on many different linux Distros and had no success well actually last time I created
a debian format from RPM using alien but after install was complete I could not start
the program so I will continue to search for a way ! keep ya posted.


Good day

Hej,

I did install KDE and tried installing both varicad & bricscad.

bricscad appears not to work on a debian based system.

Varicad still are missing the libqt3c102-mt

I've been googlin for libqt3c102-mt and apparently it is not compatible with KDE 3.4
There is a simular package, libqt3-mt, but this does not work with Varicad

Any other ideas how to get Varicad working ?

Pleas install libqt3-mt.

Varicad works well here. It is just a pity is has no python scripting, or I would reactivate my subscription at the moment.

I want to ask, is VariCAD free (as beer) on Ubuntu Linux?
